A bit of a joke really. Is Moncoutie the fastest time 'paniagua'?

Yeah, I read this elsewhere. What I didn't know is that he set the 41st fastest time: there are 40 faster times by about 30 riders (apparently) not sticking to a bread & water diet.0

Could it not wait a few weeks until the end of the season? By then the actual cycling will be over and you can stick the boot/knife in as much as you feel will make Santa think you've been a good boy/girl (both on weekends) ...0

Doesn't Sastre usually get benefit of the doubt?"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Interesting. Evans faster than Contador...
A lot of the variance will depend on how the race panned out and the conditions on the day. I've ranged from sub-hour to 1:15 depending on how much I've done beforehand. The latter was on a stupidly hot marmotte day.0 -

Same here. Fastest ever 53 minutes, dropping to 1:30 at the end of La Marmotte!"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

I'd always been inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt but looking at that list, it's hard not to be sceptical.Rick Chasey wrote:disgruntledgoat wrote:Doesn't Sastre usually get benefit of the doubt?

Is there scope for optimism in the fact that nobody broke 40 minutes in the 2008, 2010 or 2011 editions, I wonder?0 -
I think I will have a go at breaking Pantani's time, on my 600CC motorbike !BASI Nordic Ski Instructor

I reckon I could! Managed 58 minutes on a recce the evening before the Marmotte, sans EPO and without pushing myself too hard. I reckon if I pushed my haematocrit up to Riis levels and got myself in tip top shape I could do 45 minutes!
(not after I'd already ridden 200km+ at race pace though, so the pros don't need to start worrying just yet...)0 -

Wasn't that at the end of quite a short stage, 140 K'ish ??? Could explain a quick time without too merde sticking....0 -

Wrong.... That was two years later. When Sastre set his fastest time he finished the stage 9th and lost 1.35" to F.Schleck.0
